OT: American footy thread

[Eelementary]

Looks like Raiders will move on from Carr.

Finally.

If you guys don’t know who Caleb Pressley is I suggest you watch some of his interviews. Gold of epic proportion.

Anyone have there thoughts on the change of format? Honestly and not understand the logistics etc of it, i truly think it isn’t fair. I understand the organising etc, but I really thought this week should’ve been a bye week, allow bengals and bills to play and then teams return to play last week. I don’t understand why teams need a week off before super bowl, and would’ve just cut out the week. I find the week off is a little too long before super bowl and useless.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

I just think someway, somehow they could’ve potentially extended the season or something to allow the game to continue again. If say Hamlin was to have happened to pass away then perhaps call it a tie. I think if Hamlin had passed away there was a strong possibility all games would’ve been cancelled as the impact of his injury was felt everywhere not just Buffalo.

Bills got analed. I would of played this week then finished the Bill's game next Friday. Gave every side in play-offs a bye
Kansas got kissed on dick.

Miami somehow got to the playoffs

As ugly as you will see that victory to secure a playoff spot.

Next week will be a smashup with the Bills smashing us by 40 i would say.

Yes, that's what I thought they'd do as well. Push the playoffs back a week and use the Super Bowl bye week for the championship games. Resume the Bills Bengals game from where it was left off in the wild card week.

So we've got a Bills Miami playoff game. If Tua plays we're a chance, not a great chance mind, but with Skylar Thomas at the controls no chance at all.

I still expect we'll end up with a Bills Bengals AFC championship game though. The Chiefs have an outstanding record, but also have looked really wobbly over the last few weeks. They looked good against the Raiders, but hard to read much into that game.

Yeah, this Bills team is primed and we reversed into the playoffs with no form at all. I guess if Tua is back we could give them some nervous moments.

Yeah i cant see us ending the playoff win drought next week.

Tua i dont think will play again.

The Concussion stuff is serious now i wouldnt be persisting with him next year he is too much off a health risk now.

Yeah true. Get him right for next year, keep improving the O-Line in the off season, get the defense back in order and see what next season brings.

 

[hindy111]

Bills and Phili didn't impress this weekend. Cowboys where junk.
49rs stood tall. Bengals and Kansas are my favourites. Chargers can cause headaches

 

[Eelectrica]

Just realized the Bills and Bengals can't meet in the Championship game. If they're to meet it'll be the divisional.

Yeah, Chiefs don't want to meet the Chargers in the divisional. On the other hand Bills and Bengals would love to meet the Chargers in the AFC championship game. Don't think they'd be too panicked meeting the Chiefs either really. Chiefs are still dangerous obviously, just not an unbeatable juggernaut.

One of the most open competitions I can remember.

I'd rate like this

Tier one
1 Kansas
2 Bengals
3 Bills

But nothing much between them

Tier 2
4. Philli
5. 49rs -If had QB then tier 1.
6. Cowboys
7. Chargers
8. Baltimore (With Lamar)
9. JAGS

Also not much between most of these. All capable of winning the whole thing I reckon with some luck.

10 Giants
11 Minesota
12 Tampa
13 Packers/Seattle
14 Miami ( Tier 2 and no 7 if Tua was fit)


Can't see any of them challenging. Giants would be the beat of them id say.

 

[hindy111]

Good bye Packers. I enjoyed that knowing Twizzle follows them.

 

[Eelectrica]

Has Rodgers just retired? Kind of looks that way.

He's done I reckon.

If only Rams win. Detroit deserved to be in play offs over Seattle.

Yeah agreed. A few teams happy Detroit aren't there. They're in form. Seattle hasn't been playing that well lately.

 

[Twizzle]

what a whimper, that was such a shit game to watch, don't deserve to be in play offs

bye Aaron
